About the Center

The Center's target focus is field-based study of the human-wildlife-environment interface,  the continuum of human health to environmental health, on a global scale. The Center has direct collaborative agreements (MOUs) with institutions and organizations in various countries that facilitate center-sponsored field-based educational/research/outreach opportunities for students and professionals. The Center complements and supports the University’s expanding emphasis on international education and global citizenship; and as such, functions in something of a supportive role to the University’s Office of Global Affairs.   The Center also offers an umbrella unit that other units/departments/programs/individuals with similar interests can partner with, contribute to, etc..
